Sunday night is a very special time at
our house. It's a time to relax at home and enjoy a leisurely Sunday supper. There's
usually time to cook and the refrigerator's well-stocked from marketing at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market on
Saturday mornings where we buy whatever vegetables are in season.

There isn't much planning ahead for Sunday supper and I generally don't follow a
recipe. It's a time to experiment with unique combinations and bold flavors.
Most of our Sunday suppers are one-dish meals, served in a shallow bouillabaisse bowl.

Our Sunday suppers have been fun and satisfying and I'd like to share our recipes with
you. Proportions listed in the recipes are approximate. Follow your own instincts and
palate and use these recipes as general thoughts. Vary them to suit your own style and
season. I'll try to post a new recipe every weekend for your next weekend's
Sunday supper.

Thai rice and Chinese baby bok choy. Fat-free and very easy to prepare.

vanilla-flavored custard and fresh strawberries or raspberries. A lot of work, but worth
the effort -- decadently delicious!

in a rich broth topped with crispy duck morsels make this ethereal! A time-consuming
recipe if you make all the ingredients from scratch. Short-cuts are suggested.
